Neal Marshall Says
Army Life Is 'Great'
In the opinion of Neal F. Mar-
shall, sub-station commander for
the U. S. Army recruiting office
here, army life is just a bowl of
cherries.
“The soldiers’ paymaster never
fails in business, or fails to pay the
wages of his employees,” he ex-
plained. “The soldier doesn't lose
any time on account of sickness—-
the pay goes on just the same. He
doesn't worry about the cost of
clothing or of beefsteaks and rents.
N ■ matter what the cost, he gets
his clothing, his three square meals

BOY, did the judges have a time picking the winners?
There were so many good letters that it was a toss up deciding which one
should merit the awards.
But even if you didn’t win a prize on your good letter don’t give up, be-
cause you have just as good a chance to win in the next SUNBEAM BET-
TER BUSINESS CONTEST which ends Saturday night, March 20.
And. ♦ ♦
HERE IS MORE GOOD NEWS:
During the last two weeks of this contest you will only need $5 worth of
cash register slips attached to your entry.
So sharpen up your wits and your pencil and start
writing your letter on any one of these 3 subjects.

The ordinary citizen’., worries
over doctor bills and dentist pay,
is not listed in the soldier's book of
grievances.
"Uncle Sam pays them,” Marshall
explained.
He went on to say that if a soldire
wishes to return to civil life after
his period of enlistment ends, he
may prepare himself for a trade
without loss of time or money.
"All this, he commented, ‘will take
the humps out of his back, broaden
his shoulders, deepen his chest, de-
velop and train his muscles and
mind.”
